Research That Supports Massage for Pregnancy
Research dating back two decades began to confirm the benefits of massage therapy during pregnancy, with a 1999 study in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology finding reduced anxiety, improved mood, better sleep and less back pain among expectant mothers who received massage twice weekly for five weeks.
Perineal Massage
You can also enjoy the perineal massage! Perineal massage is a technique that involves stretching and manipulating the perineal tissue to help prepare the body for vaginal childbirth.
The perineum is the area between the vaginal opening and the anus, and the massage can help to make the tissue more flexible and elastic, which can reduce the risk of tearing during delivery.
